Total Disaster 27
4,938

Every so often, I  published a development map to shows much of the residential development, in Lenoir City and around the county over the last few years.

Below is a list of much of the approved residential development underway county wide. The list by no means includes everything, just the information I have been able to get from most local government agencies.

Developments may be rezoned only, platted, under construction, nearing build out or completed. Of the information below, that number comes to 4,938. By far, Lenoir City, has the most approved residential, by plat, under construction, nearing build out or completed, than the rest of the county combined with 4,038. This number does not include any individual residential permits issued by the city. I want to explain this again, as clear as possible, R-3 zoning in Lenoir City allows up to 24 units per acre. That does not necessarily mean that would be the final count. However, when a developer asks for R-3 zoning, it's a safe bet that they plan to put as many units per acre as they possibly can.

Loudon County has approximately 667 new residential units from platted to near completed. Loudon City has approximately 242 new residential units from platted to under construction.

I know there are some who still want to deny the facts and would claim these numbers are somehow wrong. Unfortunately, these numbers are all too true.

County Population Change:

2000-39,228
2010-48,719
2020-54,910
2024-60,591 (Est)

An increase of 21,363.

Is the building boom likely to end anytime soon, probably not. So when people complain about traffic, or the need for new schools or anything else growth related, these numbers shed light of what's driving all the issues.

Below is the current, partial, list of approved developments and their status across the county.
